The Eagles at Red Rocks

The Eagles appeared at Red Rocks Amphitheater. They were performing at the theater in 1975. By performing at Red Rocks, it means that this band was starting to get very well known because that particular venue is very large. Colorado was the first place that the Eagles felt like a real band which has made the connection with Colorado so strong. Glenn Frey always wore his University of Colorado t-shirt when he performed. Many band members bought houses in Aspen because Colorado felt like a home to them.   -written by Kathryn Gaskin
